History: Agustin Guerrero was raised entirely by his mother, his father
having abandoned him at a young age. He grew up knowing very little of his
father, other than his title of "El Hombre del Gato" ("the man from El Gato,"
El Gato being the name of a failed settlement just bordering Texas and Mexico).
During the Korean War, Agustin enlisted in the Texas Battalion. While on
a raid, he was separated from his group, and became lost in the jungles.
While there he encountered Kuro Neko (the "Black Cat" in Japanese), a former
guard to the Japanese emperor, now exiled to the jungles of Korea. Kuro Neko
trained the lost soldier in how to survive in the harsh wilderness, as well
as sharing his mastery of the martial arts. Soon after being rescued and
discharged from the military, Agustin pursued a career in Lucha Libre, as
during this time, the likes of El Santo were
becoming very popular. Noticing a recurring motif in his life regarding cats,
he chose the moniker of El Gato Negro, the black cat, promising to bring
'bad luck' to his opponents in the ring. His popularity and mystique as a
luchador allowed him many adventures outside of the ring, and he began to
use his talents to thwart the criminal element of South Texas. Years later,
his grandson would take up the mantle of el Gato Negro, becoming the new
protector of the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
